981 Media, in conjunction with Venstar Inc., today launched the tenth video in its ColorTouch TV video series, which helps consumers easily program and customize their ColorTouch Wi-Fi Thermostats. The series includes 10 different “how to” videos designed to walk consumers through easy, step-by-step instructions on how to make the most of their ColorTouch Wi-Fi Thermostats. Available online now, the tenth video is titled, “Viewing Your Energy Usage.”

In this episode, ColorTouch TV host Arloa Reston shows users how to view energy usage on the ColorTouch Thermostat, via the Internet and mobile app.

"Viewing energy usage on the ColorTouch Wi-Fi Thermostat is easy and allows users to monitor energy usage and make adjustments to reduce energy costs. This video really helps users see how they can manage and save on energy usage, because ColorTouch is such a visual product," said Austin Brooks, the creative director at 981 Media. “Just telling consumers how to program the product is never as effective as showing them, which is exactly what we do in this new video series to help ColorTouch users get the most out of their thermostats.”

With more than 3 billion hours of videos watched each month on YouTube alone, the demand for video is increasingly becoming an essential part of online marketing and education.
